WHAT TO WEAR AND USE 




It is very important 
that the beginner in 
athletics should know 
what to wear for the dif- 
ferent sports. The cross 
country runner requires 
a shoe with a low, broad 
heel, and spikes in sole 
of shoe; he can have 
spikes in the heel or not, 
just as it suits him. A 
pair of Spalding's No. 
14-C shoes, which are 
made of the finest Kang- 
Cross Country Shoes ^^oo leather, and used by 

all the prominent cross country runners, cost $5.00 per pair. A 

sprinter will require a pair of sprinting shoes. No. 2-0, that retail 

for $5.00. It was with this style shoe that Wefers made all his 

records. John Cregan, the Inter-Collegiate Champion, wore 

them, as well as Charles 

Kilpatrick, the peerless 

half-mile runner and 

celebrated record holder, 

and Arthur F. Dufifey, 

who has gone the 100 

yards in 9 3-5 seconds. 

The sweater. No. A, of 

finest Australian lamb's 

wool, was made origin- 
ally by special order for 

the Yale foot ball team 




and now used by all college athletes, is one of the best in the 
market, sells for $6.00; athletic shirt. No. 600, at $1.25; athletic 
pants, No. 3, at 75 cents ; a supporter is very essential for an ath- 
lete and nearly all the champions use them ; No. 5 is the most 
suitable one and retails at 75 cents ; a pair of corks will cost the 
athlete 15 cents; pushers for the running shoes, 25 cents; the 
bath robe is now an essential part of an athlete's outfit — these re- 
tail at $5.00. This complete outfit costs $19.15. \ 

The second quality of the same line of goods can be bought 
as follows: Sprinting shoes, No. 10, $4.00; sweater. No. B, 
$5.00; shirt, No. 6 E, 50 cents; pants. No. 4, 50 cents; supporter, 
No. 72, 50 cents; corks, No. i, 15 cents; pushers. No. 5, 25 cents; 
bath robe, $3.50. This 
second grade outfit costs 
$14.40. 

The pole-vaulter will 
want the same outfit, 
with the exception of a 
pair of jumping shoes. 
No. 14-H, which sell for 
$5.00, and a pair of wrist 
supporters. No. 200, 
which can be bought for 
about 35 cents. There is 
one article that a pole- 
vaulter must have, and 

that is his own pole. Jumping and Hurdling Shoes 

There is an awful lot in getting used to a pole and having confi- 
dence in the one that is yours, because no other contestant is 
allowed to use it according to the rules, which is quite right, for 
we have often seen a pole-vaulter make the fatal mistake of allow- 
ing much heavier men to use his pole and break it. Any one 
can naturally understand that a man who weighs 160 pounds 
cannot use a pole designed for a man weighing 115 pounds. The 
best pole on the market for athletic purposes is the 15-foot 
6-inch pole as supplied by A. G. Spalding & Bros, to the Prince- 




ton University A. A. 
being much lighter, 




Intercollegiate Sweater 



This pole is made of hollow spruce, thus 
and owing to a special preparation with 
which it is filled, the 
strength and stiffness is 
greatly increased. It re- 
tails for $10.50; a 14-foot 
pole, hollow, retails for 
$9.50, and the solid for 
$6.00. Usually the vault- 
er will wrap the pole 
to suit his own tastes. 

The high jumper and 
the broad jumper will 
want an outfit as fol- 
lows : Jumping shoes. 
No. 14-H, $5.00; sweater, 
No. A, $6.00; shirt, No. 
600, $1.25; pants. No. 3, 
75 cents ; supporter, No. 5', 
75 cents ; corks, No. i, 



15 cents; pushers, No. 5, 25 cents; bath robe, $5.00. 

An outfit with several of the articles of a cheaper grade than 
the above, costs: Jumping shoes, No. 14-H, $5.00; sweater. No. 
B, $5.00; shirt. No. 6-E, 50 cents; pants. No. 4, 50 cents; sup- 
porter. No. 2, 50 cents; corks. No. i, 15 cents; pushers, No, 5, 
25 cents: bath robe, $3.50. 

The man who throws the weights will require the same wear- 
ing apparel as the pole-vaulter or the runner. John Flanagan 
and James Mitchel, two of the greatest weight throwers in the 
world, wear what is known as the No. 14-H shoe, with a short 
spike, which retails for $5.00. It is very essential that the weight 
thrower should have his own implements ; in fact, nearly all the 
champion weight throwers carry their own weights with them 
and guard them jealously. 

Without doubt the best hammer in the market to-day is the ball- 
bearing championship hammer as designed and used by John 




Sleeveless Shirt 



Flanagan, the record holder and champion thrower of the world. 

This sells for $10.00. An extra leather case for carrying these 

hammers will cost the athlete $2.00. The regulation hammer, 

lead, you can get for $4.50 and the iron 

at $3.25. The 16-pound shot, lead, will 

cost $2.50, and the iron, $1.75. The 56- 
pound weight, lead, will cost $8.50, 

While on this subject I would advise any 

weight thrower who wants to become 

expert to carry his own weights and 

particularly his own hammer. He can 

then arrange to have the grip made to 

suit himself, and when necessary to 

cover it with leather, and he will not be 
called upon when he goes to a competi- 
tion to take the ordinary hammer with 

a handle with which he is not familiar. 

Athletes should make it a point to have two suits of athletic 
apparel, one for competition and one for practice purposes. The 
clothing that some of our crack athletes wear in competition is 
a disgrace to athletics, and it adds a 
great deal to an athlete's appearance 
to appear neat and clean when taking 
part in athletic competition. In prac- 
tice within one's club or grounds al- 
most any kind of clothing can be 
used. A sprinter should have two 
pairs of running shoes, one a very 
heavy pair for practicing in (the 
cross country shoe, No. 14-C, makes 
a very good shoe for this purpose, 
and can be had with or without 

spikes on heels), and a light pair for 
Running Pants • r^ r , ■, , . . 

racmg. One of the best professional 

sprinters that ever wore a shoe made it a point to train for all 

his races in very heavy sprinting shoes. Aside from the benefit 




that is claimed for practicing in heavy sh.oes, y«it always feel 
as though you have a pair of shoes that will be ready for any 
race that is scheduled, and bear in mind it does not pay to 
buy athletic implements or clothing that are cheap. They don't 
wear and cannot give you the service that you will get from 
articles that are official and made by a reputable house. 

Athletes and athletic club officials would do well to procure a 
copy of the Athletic Primer (No. 87) of Spalding's Athletic Li- 
brary) . Thisibook fully covers the construction of athletic grounds 
and tracks, the management of games, formation of new clubs, etc. 
It also contains illustrations and diagrams of what might be 
considered a perfect athletic track. 

In laying out or re-arranging grounds great care should be 
taken to see that the field sports can go on without interference, 
and in the management of a large meeting it is very essential 
that more than one 
field sport should go 
on at one time . There- 
fore it should be ar- 
ranged to have the 
running broad jump, 

running high jump, Take-off Board. 

and the circles for w^eight-throwing separated. In order to have 
your plant as perfect as possible, it is necessary that you have all 
the apparatus that is necessary, not only to conduct an athletic 
meet, but to give the different athletes an opportunity to practice 

There are many things that 
are required. Great care 




the various sports. 




Toe Board or Stop Board. 



should be taken in the arrange- 
ment of the broad jump. The 
toe board is a very important 
article and is generally over- 
looked, and the runway re- 
quires as much attention as 



the track. At the average athletic grounds the jumping path is 
usually neglected. 



« -~~T__^^ZiZZ. Ill the sprint races, wherever pos- 

" il~t,_„^-! — r— 1' sible, each contestant should be given 

his own lane. A lane can be made 
% of iron stakes driven in the ground 

about eighteen inches apart and 

Lanes for Sprint Races Strung with COrds. 

For the pole vaulters and high jumpers you should procure 
two sets of wooden apparatus — Spalding's complete apparatus 





VAULTING STANDARD. 
AND 

POLES. 




No. 109. If the pole jump and high jump go on at the same time, 
an extra lot of cross-bars should be on hand and three or four 
different poles. 



The regulation sd-peund weight, known as the "Mitchel' 
weight, can be secured for $8.50. 




Regulation 56-Lb. Weight 



Regulation 16-Lb. Hammer 



For the weights you will be required to furnish a i6-lb. Spald- 
ing Championship Ball Bearing Hammer, as originally designed 
by Champion John Flanagan. It is now universally used by 
all the good weight throwers. The ball-bearing swivel hammer 
is in great demand and favored. It does away with the breaking 



of haadles, and Flanagan claims it can be thrown many 
^^^^^^ feet further than the old style hammer. 
^F ^k Schoolboys invariably use the 12-pound shot 

|H| Wk and the 12-pound hammer. If they desire 

1^^^ m lead shot, it usually costs a little more than 

1^^^^ ^r the iron. The 16-pound iron shot can be 
"^^^^^^ bought for about $1.75, and the 12-pound 

Shut for $1.50. 

The most suitable hurdles on the mar- 
ket are the Foster Patent Safety Hur- 
dles. The frame is 2 feet 6 inches in 
height with a horizontal rod passing 
through it two feet above the ground. 
The hurdle is a wooden gate 2 feet high 
swinging on this rod at a point 6 inches 
from one of the sides and 18 inches from 

the other. With the short side up it Foster Patent Safety Hurdle 

measures 2 feet 6 inches from the ground, ^' ^' '"' ^'^ 

and with the long side up 3 feet 6 inches. 

The hurdle can be changed from one 
height to the other in a few seconds, and 
is held firmly in either position by a 
thumb-screw on the rod. It would be hard 
to conceive any device more simple or 
more easily handled than this. The inven- 
tion was used exclusively at the Olympic 
Games of 1904, and has met with the 





Foster Patent Safety Hurdle 
at 3 ft. in, height 



approval of the best known physical directors and trainers of th'. 



count rv. 





Megaphone 



The Spalding Official 
Discus should always be 
on the grounds. This re- 
tails for $5.00. 

A megaphone is now 
a necessary adjunct to an athletic meeting. With 
a megaphone almost any amateur can announce 
the results distinctly. 



Official Discus 



The captain of the club should 
endeavor to have in his posses- 
sion a pistol so that the boys 
can practice starting, and a 
v^histle for announcing that 
everything is ready for a start 
and also for attracting the attention of the Measuring Tape 
officials, several measuring tapes and several balls of yarn for 
the finish. 




Starter's Pistol

Made Fxpressy for

AN athletic shirt that is from its very nature 
best suited -'f any to the needs of those 
who through violent and continuous exertion 
perspire freely, aiid should therefore wear 
something next to the skin that will absorb 
moisture rapidly. " Linen Mesh" does this, 
and at the same time surpasses all other ma- 
terials in the power of evaporating moisture 
or drying. We cannot recommend it too highly. 

Don't be lead into the common error that gar- 
ments made of this material are designed 
primarily for people who are ill. Insteaa, they 
are meant to safeguard all, especially those 
who confident in their strength and health 
neglect the ordinary precautions of the 
prudent. 

For use as a gymnasium shirt there is nothing 
to compare with this, while for general athletic 
wear its manifold advantages will make it pop- 
ular with those who desire an article that is 
superior to anything similar ever made.

MIRAND-STEEL 
LOCHERS 

Lockers That* Last* 

"VY/OODEN lockers are objectionable 
because they attract vermin, re- 
tain odors and can be easily broken into, 
and are dangerous on account of fire. 
Lockers made from wire mesh or ex- 
panded metal afford little security, as 
they can be easily entered with wire 
cutters. Clothes placed in them become 
covered with dust ; and the lockers 
themselves present a poor appearance, 
resembling animal cages. 



Durand -Steel 
Lockers 

are made of 
high-grade steel 
plates, and are 
finished with 
gloss-black fur- 
nace baked (400°) Japan, comparable to that 
used on hospital ware, which will never flake 
off nor require refinishing, as do paints and 
eiiamels. 

Durand-Sbeel Lockers 

are usually built with doors perforated full 
length in panel design, with sides and backs 
solid. This prevents clothes in one locker from 
coming in contact with wet garments in adjoin- 
ing lockers, while plenty of ventilation is secured 
by having the door perforated its entire length, 
but if the purchaser prefers we perforate the 
backs also.

No. 225— How to Play First Base. 

No other position in a ball team has shown such a 
change for the better in recent years as first base. 
Modifications in line with the betterment of the sport 
in every department has been made at intervals, but 
in no other department have they been so radical. No

the points and hints contained in this book. Entirely 
new and up-to-date. Illustrated with full-page pictures 
of all the prominent first basemen. Price 10 cents. 



No. 226 — How to Play Second Base. 

There are so few men who can play second base to 
perfection that their names can easily be called off by 
anyone who follows the game of base ball. Team own- 
ers who possess such players would not part with them 
for thousands of dollars. These men have been inter- 
viewed and their ideas Incorporated in this book for 
the especial benefit of boys who want to know the fine 
points of play at this point of the diamond. Illustrated 
with full-page pictui-es. Price 10 cents. 




No. 227— How to Play Third Base. 

Third base Is, in some respects, the most important 
of the infield. No major league team has ever won 
a pennant without a great third baseman. Collins of 
the Boston Americans and Leach of Pittsburg are two 
of the greatest third basemen the game has ever seen, 
and their teams owe much of the credit for pennants 
they have won to them. These men in this book 
describe just how they play the position. Everything 
a player should know is clearly set forth and any boy 
will surely increase his chances of success by a careful 
reading of this book. Illustrated. Price 10 cents. 



No. 228— How to Play Shortstop. 

Shortstop is one of the hardest positions on the In- 
field to fill, and quick thought and quick action are 
necessary for a player who expects to make good as 
a shortstop. The views of every well-known player 
who covers this position have been sought in compiling 
this book, and it is offered as being the most com- 
plete book of its class ever produced. Illustrated. 
Price 10 cents. 



No. 229— How to Catch. 

Undoubtedly the best book on catching that has yet 
been published. Every boy who has hopes of being 
a clever catcher should read how well-known players 
cover their position. Among the more noted ones 
who describe their methods of play in this book are 
Lou Criger of the Boston Americans and Johnnie Kling 
of the Chicago Nationals. The numerous pictures com- 
prise all the noted catchers in the big leagues. Pric# 
10 cents.

No. 232 — How to Run the Bases. ' 

The importance of base running as a scientific fea- 
ture of the national game is becoming more and more 
recognized each year. Besides being spectacular, feats 
of base stealing nearly always figure in the winning 
of a game. Many a close contest is decided on the 
winning of that little strip of 90 foot which lies be- 
tween cushions. When hits are few and the enemy's 
pitchers steady, it becomes incumbent on the opposing 
team to get around the bases in some manner. Ef- 
fective stealing not only increases the effectiveness of 
the team by advancing its runners without wasting 
hits, but it serves to materially disconcert the enemy 
and frequently has caused an entire opposing club to' 
temporarily lose its poise and throw away the game. 
This book gives clear and concise directions for ex- 
celling as a base runner; tells when to run and when 
not to do so; how and when to slide; team work on 
the bases; in fact, every point of the game is thor- 
oughly explained. Illustrated with pictures of leading 
players. Price 10 cents.

The officials of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition recogniz- 
ing the importance of the OLYMPIC GAMES and the 
value of establishing authentic Olympic records, selected 
Spalding Athletic Implements for exclusive official use in 
connection with the Olympic Games (held in the Stadium 
of the Exposition, from May to November, 1904) because 
of their acknowledged superiority, reHability and official stand- 
ing. For over a quarter of a century A. G. Spaling & Bros.* 
implements have been officially used. 



OFFICIAL 



JN all athletic contests the implements and 
apparatus must conform to the official 
rules as laid down by the governing bodies 
of the various sports, the object being to 
enable all contestants to compete under 
uniform conditions and with the same kind \ 
of an implement, for a record in any sport 
will not be allowed unless the official im- 
plement is used. That is why Spalding 
implements are always selected, because 
they never vary in weight or measurement, 
but invariably conform to the rules.
